remains fifth in the heavyweight rankings, and he is hoping to get back to winning ways before targeting a fight against heavyweight champion Jon Jones.
Despite returning from a serious injury, Aspinall has been given a credible opponent for his return, with Tybura only five places behind him in the rankings.
Before his injury, Aspinall had won eight fights in a row, and he will need to come through a tough encounter to have the confidence in his body for bigger fights down the line.
The hard-hitting heavyweight is known for his explosive power, and equally explosive starts. A win for Aspinall by KO, TKO or DQ in Round 1 has boosted odds from 33/20, to .
Fellow Brit Molly McCann will also make her return, as she fights Julija Stoliarenko at flyweight. The Liverpudlian suffered a frustrating defeat in her last outing, as she lost by submission to Erin Blanchfield.
Before that defeat at UFC 281, McCann had won three fights on the spin, and she is to return to winning ways, while Stoliarenko is classed as the outsider.
McCann’s ferocious approach to octagon action could see a boosted bet builder of a McCann win, plus the fight to be under 2.5 Rounds, come in after moving from 8/5, now .
What time is UFC Fight Night 225?
The card is scheduled to take place on Saturday 22nd July 2023. The preliminary card is expected to get under way at 17:00, with the main card due to commence three hours later. Aspinall and Tybura are expected to start their walk to the octagon at around 22:30.
Where is UFC Fight Night 225?
UFC Fight Night 225 will take place at the 02 Arena in London. The UFC will return to London just four months after Leon Edwards beat Kamaru Usman to retain his welterweight crown.
Both of Edwards' last two fights took place at the iconic venue. He won Performance of the Night in March 2022 when he submitted Alexander Volkov before he was unable to continue during his clash with Curtis Blaydes in July 2022.
Are there any belts on the line at UFC Fight Night 225?
No. Neither Aspinall nor Tybura hold a title, but both men will have aspirations of fighting for one in the future.
American Jones remains the heavyweight champion, but he has the likes of Sergei Pavlovich, Ciryl Gane, Stipe Miocic, Blaydes, and Aspinall chasing him in the top five of the rankings.
Tai Tuivasa, Volkov, Serghei Spivac, Jailton Almeida and Tybura round off the top 10 in the rankings, and consecutive wins against top-10 fighters may earn either Aspinall or Tybura a shot at a world title.
